Ten Questions You Must Ask a Realtor Before You List or....You Could Lose Big!Most of us sell only a small number of homes in our lifetimes. With limited experience in real estate how are we to be capable of maximizing the profits from our home sale? Many home sellers make the critical mistake of thinking all Realtors are the same. They list with the first agent who comes along. Does it make good business sense to put the responsibility of selling your home with someone who has no plan or qualifications? This special report will educate you with valuable information that will help you make the best decision concerning: Which real estate agent should you list with?Start by doing a few hours of research. Ask around... get to know who has the most signs, ads and marketing material in your neighborhood. Who’s the most active agent? Compile a list of agent names and use these questions to help you determine which agent is.......the rest of the article is on my blog post athttp://shortsales-yllong.blogspot.com/GOD BLESS!

YOU WILL NEED: *Patience *Cheer *Optimism"Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life." --- Burton HillsSometimes we find ourselves thinking "I'll be happy when I get married...when my child is old enough to go to school." The truth is, happiness doesn't arrieve as the result of a certain event. It comes when you decide to laugh more, take yourself less seriously, and focus on enjoying your journey instead of reaching your destination.SIMPLE STEPS*Make the everyday routine more enjoyable by adding something special to it --- put a silly note in your child's lunchbox, do your chores in a whimsical hat --- whatever might bring a smile to your face.*Break up your routine. Take a pen and mark a few "fun dates" on your calendar. Make the reservations now --- don't forget!

Are You Building A List?Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 at 1:22 pmI remember when I first got started on this Internet Marketing Journey. I was jumping onto every website possible, in hopes of making mega money overnight. I held on to all of the promises that were being told to me. With intense focus, I was determined to dissect this industry to find out if it was really true that we could earn thousands of dollars online, and find out the specifics of what I needed to do to make it happen!After personally spending thousands of dollars on courses, e-books, programs, videos, software and the likes, I’ve come to learn one of the most important aspects of establishing true online wealth. You see, many people look at the internet as a place where people voluntarily give you their credit card for products that you “claim” are good. But that’s not really how it happens. If you want to know how it really works, then here it goes:1. You create a website that is focused on a specific “niche market”.2. You then begin to put valuable information on that website, sharing with those in your target market, valuable information that the feel they couldn’t find elsewhere.3. You then have an “opt-in” form on your website that allows visitors to receive “FREE” resources or e-book that they feel they have to have…when they opt-in, you then have their email information to stay in contact with them.4. You set up “auto-responder” messages, that automatically communicate with your list, to work for you, building a relationship with them along the way.5. After they’ve seen 5-7 messages from you that are of value, they begin to feel like they know you personally.6. As you build up your list, you then proceed to share valuable “affiliate programs” that allow you to “monetize” from your list. Because they’ve come to know and trust you, they buy from you and you start making money.7. Down the line, when your list gets big enough, people begin to approach you about doing “joint-ventures” because your list is so big, they will pay you to market their product….And that’s where the big bucks come in my friend!So if you have been excited about the fact that you have a website or have met many friends in your social media circle, my question for you today is “Are You Building A List”? IF not, click here to get started on building your list today!Filed under: Lead GenerationLike this post? Subscribe to my RSS feed and get loads more!Nicole S.

The book NOT IN MY HOUSE! By Pastor Andre Butler confirms everything that I have always believed. Recession does not have to come to your house just because it comes to a nation. This is a book that was very hard to put down. You can start implementing a strategy to get out of debt by reading this book. If you are not a tither, you need to start tithing. If you know someone who is without a job, give them this book. If you know someone who just doesn’t get it when it comes to God’s way of doing things financially, this book is for them.It is amazing how we have been sold a bill of goods about depending on debt as a way of life. A lot of people, pay for items with cash. I am sure a lot of you pay for things in cash. I know of some people who will save up the money to purchase a vehicle in cash. I think I will try that the next time I get a car. I have always heard that it is better to have a 15 year loan as opposed to a 30 year loan. However, I had no idea that when you close on the house, you need to make your first payment at that time.I don’t have credit cards, but I use to have them and decided several years ago to not be bothered again. Of course, I know that the home loans are a rip-off because you don’t start eating away at the principal until 20 years later. That is so ridiculous. Pastor Butler lets us know that we are comfortable in operating in the world’s system and this is not how God wants us to operate. God wants us to have his best. A four or five year car note is not God’s best. A 30 year mortgage is not God’s best.He talks about sitting down and making a budget. I have made budgets for organizations and everything else. I have made budgets for myself before but sometimes just didn’t want to face the music about what I really owe and what cash is really coming in. I just did another budget while reading this book. I declare I don’t know how I have been paying my bills. It’s probably because I’m a tither. That is the only reason that I am still afloat. Also, I like to sow financial seeds at my church and TBN and with a few other ministries that I partner with like Breakthrough and World Changers Church International. I am a believer that you can sow your way out of anything.It has often been said that until you get sick and tired of something it won’t change. I declare today that I am sick and tired of having a car note and a mortgage. I am going to try and put my car note to rest this year. I will really have to curb my spending. It will take a while on the mortgage but I am trying to figure out how to participate in the loan modification program that the President has available. I am not behind on my mortgage and it is not 31% of my income but it is still $1100 dollars and that’s too much with the repairs that I have to make. It is also 9% interest which is too high. If Countrywide doesn’t come correct, I am going to shop around and find someone who will. You can’t afford not to read this book. This might be the book that will make you the millionaire that God has called you to be. However, you must remember that the wealth that God will pour into your hands is to help finance the gospel. Yes, He wants us to live well, but the bottom line is about harvesting as many souls as possible before Jesus comes back.
